Convert MP3 to WAV

Many video editors, samplers, DJ programs and broadcast systems want WAV, and editing a WAV adds no extra round of compression.

MP3 is the most widely supported compressed audio format; it plays on practically every device. WAV is uncompressed audio: the full sound with nothing removed, at about 10 MB per minute.

Clipabay decodes the MP3 and writes it out as WAV with no further compression, so nothing more is lost on the way. Choose 16-bit for most uses, or 24-bit or 32-bit float if you will keep editing.

What you get

How to convert MP3 to WAV

  1. Open MP3 to WAV and choose your MP3 file.
  2. WAV is already selected. Trim or add fades if you like.
  3. Press Export and the WAV file is saved.

Tip: Leave the sample rate on Keep unless a program asks for 44.1 or 48 kHz; changing it doesn’t improve the sound.

Questions

Will the WAV sound better than the MP3?

No, it will sound exactly the same. MP3 removes some detail when it is made, and converting can’t bring that back. What you gain is a file that every editor, sampler and DAW opens directly, with no extra loss when you edit and save again. Expect it to be about ten times bigger.

Can I convert many files at once?

Yes. Batch process converts a whole set of files with the same settings and gives you a zip.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your files stay on your own computer or phone.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no account, no trial, no watermark and no limit on how many files you convert. Clipabay is kept going by people who choose to buy us a coffee.
